This story happened nearly 20 years ago now (God that makes me feel old!!). As ever if you’re a perv skip to the XXX for the filth. I was a keen runner and had done my coaching badges. I was a member of a local gym and there was a noticeboard there where people could put up business cards etc. Even though it wasn’t my day-to-day job i put up a notice saying i was available for one-to-one running coaching and would help people train for specific races or events. I’d had a little bit of interest and done the odd coaching session for people but nothing serious.
Then one day i got a text asking if i was willing to do help someone train for a trail marathon in a few months time. Trail running was (and still is) my favourite and I’d run plenty of halfs, full and the odd ultra distance so i was happy to go along with it. I agreed to meet up at the gym and discuss and met up the following week. It turned out to be a lady called Helen i’d seen there a few times and said “hi” to in passing, a bit younger than me but pretty tidy, short fair hair and quite athletic. We had a chat and i agreed to sort her out with a running program and also do 4 one-on-one sessions with her.
